Timeless Beauty: Over 100 Tips, Secrets, and Shortcuts to Looking Great

This is a beautiful book, with lovely full color pictures on almost every page, and wonderful advice on living a beautiful life, inside and out. Christie Brinkley has such a sweet spirit, and this comes through on the pages of this book. I appreciate her advice on nutrition, exercise, stress relief, cosmetics, skin care, cosmetic surgery, supplements and encouraging a happy, grateful heart! I don't understand the reviewers who complained that this book was all about Christie .... this is HER advice, based on HER experience and HER life with HER name on the cover. What did they think they were buying? Of course it's full of info about her. That is exactly why I bought it! Have you seen her? She's 61 years old and still strikingly beautiful! Whatever she is doing, I want to know EXACTLY. And Christie spells everything out in this book. Also, she does it with such genuine kindness and care towards the reader, that really comes through ....she feels like a good friend talking to you over a cup of coffee. :) I really enjoyed this book and have taken away much wise advice from it. Also ..... Christie does have her own skin care line, which she discusses in the book, but she also gives advice on other brands, she recommends products from other brands, and discusses active ingredients you want to look for in any brand you choose to use. I did not find her pushy at all with her skin care line, and I'm glad she discussed it. Overall, I am very happy with this book. I purchased the hard back version, and it is done very nicely, with a solid, quality feel. Will refer back to it often! Thanks Christie! Best of luck to you! :)

Before purchasing this book, I was confused by the many contrasting Amazon reviews... it seemed people either loved or hated it. But browsing through the many pages available on the link above, it looked brighter and more in depth than the negative reviews, so I decided to give it a try... and so very glad I did! For me, the key before purchasing a book like this is to define what I'm looking for. Christie is one of the most naturally beautiful women in the world and she has a lot of money, we know this, but what is inspiring is HOW she has diligently maintained her beauty.... something other great beauties haven't necessarily done.... and that is what she is offering in these pages. She's forthright in giving away her "secrets", from attitude, stress management, exercise, nutrition and "deny-eting" the benefits of modern day dermatology, make-up and fashion tips and many beautiful pictures to inspire. Humans naturally look to "models" for inspiration and leadership, whether in business, sports, religion, beauty etc. She is a model of beauty in every sense of the word, and she raises the level of the game so we can SEE what is possible. Thank you Christie! What surprised me most is to learn of her inner beauty and richness of spirit and how disarmingly sweet and genuine she is. The value she places on family, sharing some powerful wisdom passed to her from her parents, was heartwarming. This book gave me exactly what I was looking for and more. :)

I enjoyed this book. Christie shares some great ideas on eating, fitness, positive outlook and believe it or not, cosmetic enhancements. She does share the brands that she uses, one product she recommends is BioSil. I decided to research it, and was surprised by the number of rave reviews on Amazon. Needless to say, I ordered it. The only thing I did not like about the book is that most of the photos are over photoshopped. I guess that's to be expected with a supermodel but honestly it would have been better if it was more realistic. There are a few photos where her foot looks distorted.

Just as another reviewer mentioned their surprise of all the low ratings, I also am surprised about them too. I thought this book delivered everything I wanted it to. I loved Christie's book from 30 years ago and was so happy to hear she was coming out with this book. Especially since she is 61 and gorgeous. Even though I am 35 years old I have definitely worried about the inevitable aging process for me in the years to come and only hope to age gracefully. Christie embraces the aging process and speaks in a manner that makes aging not seem quite as daunting and dreadful. Granted, I am not naive to the fact that Christie has great genes, lots of money and resources to help obtain and keep her desirable looks and healthy body, but knowing this about her makes me want to learn some of her secrets that can be attainable for the average person such as myself. I loved this book and found it to be so inspirational towards a brighter future of trying to become the best version of myself I can be. Christie has done a wonderful job outlining her tips and tricks and I would highly recommend this book. Well done Christie!

First, I think many people would consider Christie Brinkley very lovely, no matter the age. I certainly do. However, I was quite disappointed by her book, Timeless Beauty. There is useful information on products and healthy living for sure, including recipes I'd like to try. However, I found the book to be (for my taste) too much a glossy photographic ode to her career. Page after page, pose after pose. Well, maybe that is suppose to be the point.

I turn to the negative reviews first to see what the downside is. I almost lost interest in getting this book because they made it out to be an empty picture book. Wrong. My only gripe is where was this book 20 years ago! I have recommended it to everyone I know. People ignore me but my best friend kept looking at my skin and she was inspired, saying it looked so good since I started trying to eat more like CB. I try to get a green drink and apple in every day, not much effort to do that. I thought I would gag on that green drink---I hate kale. I love the drink, except I use a whole orange instead of juice and add a date or two. So good. Refreshing. And your elimination will change completely. I was surprised she talked about the rejuvenating things she has tried. Thank you C, I appreciate the knowledge as I am about to knock at that door. I color my hair, what's the difference? A reviewer said to get Molly Sims book instead. I looked at it. You know CB's pictures inspire me---I need to be inspired. Have you ever seen a bad one. The other book was sort of gritty. Not for me. My friends keep asking to borrow my book. Not happening. They can get their own. I love mine too much and just opening it inspires me, no matter the topic and she covers everything from meals to makeup.

I really enjoy reading this book. There's lots of helpful hints on food and vitamins and makeup, and hair products. And exercise. She doesn't just talk about her own beauty line either she gives you other brands too. She talks about the Chanel primer and I tried it and it's amazing. The Biosil for skin and hair is also amazing. The oribe for hair is the best. I'm surprised of all the negative reviews. Obviously she looks this great because she has an easy comfortable life. She has a chef , she has people that do her hair , makeup etc. she has less stress. Money is no issue for her like most of us. And let's not forget she is a gorgeous woman. Always has been. What I took away from the book is to be more care free , enjoy your life all of it !! And smile smile. Laugh and be positive.

Absolutely LOVED this beauty book!!! I read it cover to cover in a day and relished every page! Christie is truly an amazing human being! She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside...and such an inspiration!!! This book is the Holy Grail on everything beauty and just feeling good in our own skin. She divulges everything from her top beauty tips, secrets and shortcuts to eating and living healthy with fitness tips and incredible (and yummy) recipes! I loved all the fabulous fashion advice and all the wonderful pictures of her and her gorgeous children! She has a wonderful sense of wit and humor! It's the perfect gift ...
